Our Collective Impact
- Last month, our Lunch & Learn session was with Impact Circle-4 grantees, Puget Soundkeeper Alliance and ReSources. At the same event, we also heard from Nisqually Land Trust, an Impact Circle-3 grantee.
Summaries of their reports will be posted on our website in August.
- A few weeks ago, a group of partners toured the Chimacum site owned by Jefferson Land Trust (Impact Circle-6 grantee). We began the tour with Sarah Spaeth, Director, Conservation and Strategic Partnerships, who gave us an overview of the urban farm project.

Department of Ecology News Release - June 1, 2016
Ecology releases updated rule to cap carbon pollution.
Opportunity for public to review and comment.
OLYMPIA – After incorporating feedback from business and environmental stakeholders, the Washington Department of Ecology has released an updated version of the state’s first-ever rule to cap carbon pollution. The Clean Air Rule will reduce carbon pollution to help slow climate change. Ecology withdrew its original draft of the Clean Air Rule in order to act quickly on improvements and to stay on track with adopting the rule by late summer.
Now the agency wants to hear from the public and is accepting comments on the rule. "Carbon pollution has reached rampant levels and we're committed to capping and reducing it," said Sarah Rees, Ecology's special assistant on climate change policy. "Climate change is the most significant environmental issue of our lifetime, and governments need to act now to protect what we have today for future generations."
The public is invited to comment on the proposed rule through July 22, 2016, on Ecology’s website.
Thank you for taking action!
